/clientfeedback

Posts a client-facing status update to the client issue and updates its labels.

Usage 

/clientfeedback [time]

Parameters

Parameter Required Description
Time No Time spent, in GitLab format (e.g. 30m, 1h, 2h30m)

What It Does

1. Determine Context

Reads the current branch name to extract the development issue IID, then fetches the dev issue to find the client issue cross-reference (vinum/vinum#XXXX).

2. Determine Target Stage

Checks whether the branch was merged to main or staging:

  • Merged to main → Stage::Release
  • Merged to staging → Stage::Customer Test

3. Draft a Client Comment

Composes a German, non-technical comment summarizing what was done. The comment is:

  • Concise and professional
  • Free of code, class names, or internal jargon
  • No salutation or goodbye

You review and approve the comment before it is posted.

4. Post and Update

  • Posts the approved comment to the client issue
  • Tracks time via /spend (if time parameter provided) on both client and dev issues
  • Updates client issue labels to the correct stage
  • Reassigns the client issue to its original author

Prerequisites

  • You must be on a feature branch created by /clientissue
  • Work must already be committed, pushed, and merged (via /rollout and /merge)

Example 

/clientfeedback 1h

Posts the status update and logs 1 hour of time spent.
